Subject: Over The Top Songs
I watched part of a spaghetti western the other night - you know the sort, the 'hero' inflicts a body count by the score without incurring so much as a flesh wound - and it srt me thinking about about songs that make ourageous claims of credibility. The first two to spring to mind were 'The Irish Rover' carrying 5 million hogs and 6 million dogs etc, and 'Bluey Brink' who drank sulphuric acid with never a blink.

Any other nominations for outlandish songs?

Regards John
